I think this is a push, but I think it's pretty close.

Picking on the other shorty is good.

Somebody please give me opinions on not pushing her, I think this would be interesting. TO me this is an easy push.

C'mon dude what do you want from us? If you think Villains are likely to tangle you want a higher min edge in SNGPT because you have a better chance of folding into the money. If not then you should tend towards rammin' and jammin'.

Similarly, if Villains are passive about pushing than again you want a higher min edge because you have time to wait for a better hand. If they like to attack then you gotta take whatever edge you can find.

No matter what, this hand is hugely read-dependent, and you haven't given us any so there's not too much more to say.

I think it's a push, mainly because the other short stack is in the BB. If not, this is one of those spots where each option seems wrong.

No reads makes this a pain in the ass to put any thought into.

I'm not going to tell you I wouldn't push this, cause that's not the case however I will tell you that I hate pushing Ax (where x is less than 6) UTG on the bubble. I feel more comfortable jamming KQ.

If either big stack is functioning properly, I don't hate the idea of passing on 'marginal' (which I'm sure this is no better than). Give me a tight nit BB & a bigstack not moving chips I'd be quicker to push.

More read dependant than situational IMO.
